Hubdub has been taken offline. A succeeder has been launched on: Knew The News.
The new free online news prediction site is developed by the same people who founded this group and supplied the hubdub extensions.
What iswas Hubdub?
Hubdub makes news more exciting by letting you stake virtual dollars on the outcomes of real running news stories.
On Hubdub you stake virtual money on predictions about the outcomes of real news stories. If you're right you win more, if you're wrong you lose what you staked. The more Hubdub dollars you have, the better Hubdubber you are (shown by your star level) and the higher on the leaderboards you climb.
What are Hubdub Extensions?
Since further development of new and enhanced functionality on Hubdub News Prediction Website has been reduced to a minimum, it's up to us, the community of hubdub players, to make Hubdub an even better experience.
Sadly, we cannot modify the Hubdub application as it is ran on servers that we cannot access.
There is a solution, though: Implementing the functionality in a way that it does not rely on Hubdub servers. This means, that any programmatic change or addition must be executed on the client, eg. in the browser of the Hubdub user.
This can be accomplished using the Greasemonkey plugin for the Mozilla Firefox browser. It provides an environment in which programmers can develop scripts to be applied to specific web pages.
